Description of problem:
Hi All,

     The README file in the kernel directory
(/root/sysbackup/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/) that 
contains the directions for recompiling the kernel contains inaccurate
information, missing
information and in general is very poorly written (tons of extra unnecessary,
extraneous fluff ).

      1) does not mention "make clean", 2) contains a discussion on the defunct
lilo booter
and nothing on the current grub loader, 3) contains no discussion of the
/etc/modules.conf
file, 4) leaves off discussion on /sbin/mkinitrd.  As I am not an expert on
compiling the kernel,
I am sure it has left off other things as well.

   This file really needs to be corrected!  Or, drop the contents all together
and point to a
URL with the correct instructions.

Many thanks,
--Tony
